CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #572

[EricH]

Proposed IRI field modification:

Each panel of player station window needs to have the silhouette of either a Predator drone or an AA ("flack") battery.

Reason to make this modification: See video.



Hey, it works on birds, right?

[GeeTwo]

..and we incorporated "birdbrain autonomous" - when it sees its reflection in a window, it attacks at full speed.

[notcaption]inspired by posts 8, 9, and 10 of this thread, and a persistent bluejay[/notcaption]

Operation: FIRST Edition

The White House could use force shields like this.

Why Stu was banned from being a FIRST ref.

[DonRotolo]

They cleaned the plastic so well it was almost invisible. Too bad they didn't clean his eyeglasses...

[NPOE] Wow, yet another year of caption contests. Note that this has been going on since I became a mentor for 1676 the year of Triple Play, Billfred was still in college, and some FLL (and all Jr FLL) kids hadn't been born yet.

This year, Taylor has an insurmountable lead. Best I can hope for is 4th, maybe EricH will pass me... [NPOE]

A little more expensive crash than the paper airplanes at the championship events...

I don't know whether to be honored or embarrassed [/NPOE]

[NPOE] Billfred likes you better [NPOE]

[Ichlieberoboter]

And this is what happens when you try to merge FIRST with Battlebots.

[NPOE] I started the caption contests late this year because it was my rookie FRC year, but it's really awesome that you've been doing them this long! I'm really excited for next season's caption contests! [/NPOE]

(obviously not an entry)

Actually, if you want to split hairs: when the first contest went up, I hadn't even started college yet. It was about six weeks prior.

I'll save the big stats for the judging as I do at the end of a year, but Mike is in a three-way tie for third place in the wins column year-to-date. So there are some people that I do like better...though with 14 second-places, I suppose he must be alright.

[EricH]

New entry (grounds of half the other folks out there having the same idea):

A drone is a collection of revolving parts that go round and round. Drones don't really fly; they're just so ugly that the ground repels them. The air doesn't like them either, but can't do anything until the ground's view is blocked by a waste receptacle. *CRASH*

See?

The drone just failed the clear plastic detection test. If the FRC driver stations were polycarbonate instead of acryilc, the drone would have passed the test.
